Fatah celebrated the attempted murder of Rabbi Yehuda Glick, yesterday in Jerusalem, and glorified the shooter. Rabbi Yehuda Glick is the Chairman of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation that works through educational activities to increase awareness of the central place the Temple Mount in Jewish heritage and works to promote civil rights for Jews to pray on the Temple Mount.
Fatah referred to him as an "extremist Zionist," called the attempt on his life "the assassination of the despicable Glick," and honored the terrorist who was subsequently killed by Israel as a "heroic Martyr."
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' advisor on NGOs and Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein shared a poster published by Fatah's Jerusalembranch praising the terrorist and referring to him as the "heroic Martyr" on the way "to his wedding":
"Fatah's Jerusalem branch accompanies its heroic Martyr to his wedding,Mutaz Ibrahim Khalil Hijazi, who carried out the assassination attempt of Zionist rabbi Yehuda Glick."
Last week "Palestinian Media Watch" documented that this same advisor toAbbas glorified a terrorist who murdered a three-month-old baby.
The Fatah poster honoring the terrorist shows his picture with Jerusalem in the background.
